Chronicle Entry
Bio
Once a voice of peril in the Underdark, Whisper’ess fled Menzoberranzan after defying a priestess’s demand to enslave a rival house with forbidden song. Now she walks the Sword Coast, her melodies equal parts lure, lie, and liberation.
Born to the ruthless House Baen’Szorra in Menzoberranzan, Whisper’ess survived by wielding silence like a blade and song like sorcery. Her voice—dangerous, enthralling—was trained not for art but domination. When ordered to perform the Song of Binding to break a rival house, she shattered her temple’s power instead. Hunted, she escaped to the surface, her eyes seared by starlight. In Luskan she fell in with a gang who prized her charm as much as her deadliness, until Tymora guided her steps toward freedom—and Neverwinter. Now she performs in shadowed corners, weaving ancient Drow refrains few recognize and fewer survive unscathed. Her music is not mourning; it is survival.
